Lord The Rings Vs The Simbrillion

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring takes place in a fantasy world called Middle Earth. In which, a young human-like creature called a hobbit named Frodo Baggins, played by Elijah Wood, enjoys his peaceful life, but yearns for adventure like his infamous uncle Bilbo Baggins. Wood is caught up in an ancient war between good and evil. In this war, Wood is required to encumber a great burden in order to permanently conquer evil.

How can an author write a story which appeals to a present day audience? Richard H. Tyre published an article in 1978 that gives an answer to this very question. Tyre explains how most kids today choose to read books like the Harry Potter series, The Lord of the Rings series, and even The Wizard of Oz. An existing theory that Tyre came up with explains that each of these books, along with many others, have one thing in common: 6 plot elements. Not only do these stories contain the same 6 elements but those elements are in the same order! Tyre states that “(1) those who hunt for treasure, (2) must go alone, (3) at night, (4) and when they find it, (5) they must leave some of their blood behind, (6) and the treasure is never what they expected.” (Tyre 2). J.R.R. Tolkien is the author of The Hobbit. The Hobbit revolves around one hobbit in particular named Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo embarks on a journey with 14 others to recover a treasure that is guarded by a dragon. Along the way Bilbo faces many challenges that range from running into huge trolls, to taking part in fierce battles. Due to it’s main character hunting for treasure, facing most of the dangers alone, battling during the wee hours of the night, eventually finding the treasure, after sweating/crying/and enduring injuries, just to have the treasure revealed to him as not what he expected, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit is undoubtedly a perfect example of Tyre’s 6 plot elements.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” (Tolkien 3). J.R.R. Tolkien wrote this simple sentence, of only ten words, and just like that an idea was born and journey began which soon grew to be a classic novel and then best selling series. Something that few may know is that, from the time it was first created, The Hobbit is actually intended for young children. When writing The Hobbit Tolkien’s main objective was simply to create a fairytale for his four children. But soon after it’s publication in 1937 his imaginative tale soon became a popular novel for all ages.

I read the novel, The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, afterwards I watched the movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The Hobbit is about a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who is whisked off into an adventure. The adventure is about taking back treasure from the dragon Smaug for the a group of dwarves. Along the way, he gets a magic ring from a creature called Gollum. The Hobbit and its movie are similar and different from each other in a variety of ways.

Lord of the Rings, a book and movie series that is widely popular across the world, is about four brave creatures, known as Hobbits, set out to vanquish a great evil and save their world, Middle Earth. To the general public, the trilogy’s theme is that even the smallest people can do the biggest things, but is there another deeper theme? The main hoodlum in The Lord of the Rings is an elf known as the Dark Lord Sauron. The elves immigrate to Middle Earth, thus bringing the evil that was Sauron, who in turn bring much war and bloodshed. In many ways, the stories of early settlers very much reflect the story of The Lord of the Rings. In “Balboa” by Sabina Murray, “Of Plymouth Plantation” by William Bradford, and “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare

There are many similarities to the book and movie The Hobbit. Though the movie strays far from the book it has kept some important things. The characters in the book aren't even the same they have changed too but they have kept all that were in but in the movie added new. In the beginning of the movie they sing a song that is from the book and they kept the song because it told the story of the dwarves. In both the movie and the book Gandalf marks the door to show the dwarves where to go in.

In the previous century there have been two major series of fantasy novels; "Lord of the Rings" and more recently "Harry Potter". The genre, fantasy, is very broad, but generally contains one main character, the protagonist, who is fighting for, or against something, often against evil. In both these novels the main protagonist is fighting against evil and endures a kind of adventure and personal growth. As in most fantasy novels, the main characters are in an ulterior world, which is comparable in many ways. I intend to investigate into some of the many comparable components of these two novels.

When you decide to become adventurous and get out of your comfort zone you may feel awkward at first, then you start to find yourself. It happens to the best of us when we try new things. In this screen adaptation of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, directed by Peter Jackson, the main character Biblo Baggins, played by Martin Freeman goes on an unexpected journey. I thought the movie was great, although it was a little hard to follow. The actors played their parts strongly and it seemed to me that they liked playing their parts. The movie, however, did not follow the book as well as most would hope. In this fantasy story, there are wizards, dwarves, trolls, and many other creatures.

In 1999, a show about typical high school life in Michigan aired: Freaks and Geeks. Being a show about the average high school life, there had to be an episode about how the main character, Lindsay’s, parents go out of town, so of course they have a party. During this party Lindsay gets “wasted” on fake beer, greatly regrets it, and ends up cancelling the party and calling the police so everyone would leave. One could say this is an example of humanity or human nature (at least in kids) of how the absence of parents or an adult leads a child to do questionable things, but in the end he or she learns a lesson. This example of humanity can also be applied to Lord of the Rings by William Golding, and Persepolis by Marjane

In the two novels, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Harry Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling, there is a distinct relationship that is created through the idea that there are the chosen individuals are the only ones that can save the world.

The Nazgul has orders to retrieve the ring and kill whoever has possession of the ring. Frodo has to go to several meetings and has to face several forces against him, like the Nazgul. The ring is too enticing for Frodo. Frodo slips the ring on his finger and finds out that if he wear the ring he will disappear. Frodo decides to go to Mordor by himself. When Frodo departs, the people he leaves behind end up being attacked by “uruk-hai.” (The Tolkien Society, Plot summary) The uruk-hai are much larger and stronger than orcs. Frodo is then wounded by a servant of the Dark Lord. The group then has a meeting on what they should do to the ring. The group decides to continue on their journey to the Cracks of Doom, to destroy the ring, with injured

Once upon a time, before more mainstream genre-defining fantasy works such as The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, before there even existed an actual fantasy genre at all, Lord Dunsany masterfully crafted the fantastical The King of Elfland’s Daughter, an opulent tapestry of a tale of what could happen in a typical fairy tale following the “happily ever after.” Writing in the early years of the twentieth century, Lord Dunsany was a pioneer in the fantasy genre. He very much belonged to an earlier, perhaps more enlightened age, when fantasy writers were known for the beauty of their prose as much as the fantastical nature of their stories. In her essay “From Elfland to Poughkeepsie,” Ursula K. Le Guin, author and fanatic of fantasy

Today, recommended jobs are careers branching from STEM disciplines to satisfy the demand of intellectual labor. The fault of standardization is that standards disregard the idea that every human is a complex individual with natural capabilities for intelligence. Academic ability, defined by the requirements of standardization, controls views of intelligence (F 8). Education systems worldwide build the same subject hierarchy, "at the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and at the bottom are the arts" (7). In reality, a variety of intelligences exist; people comprehend through visuals, sounds, abstract terms, and movements. Creativity does not come through mastery of a particular way of perceiving, but by the interaction of many ways of perception

There are many debates about which is better, Harry Potter or The Lord of The Rings. I found some over the movies and some over the books but a lot of arguing, debating, and disagreements. I saw good reasoning and some not so much but The Lord of The Rings is more popular from all the information that I saw. Personally I think The Lord of The Rings is better that Harry Potter and more amusing. The only thing I would like more about the Harry Potter series is that the magic and special affects are better but that's it. There a lot of different websites that debate this subject and argue but I haven't found any conclusions over this subject. The closest things I found was percentage bars and pie charts. But overall I saw that The Lord of The

Books three and book twenty- two are two books that differ greatly between each other. Homer’s Iliad is an extended poem detailing the exploits of men and gods of warfare and adventure. Through exploring the adventures of the poem we discover many similarities and differences between the books of the poem. It is important to look at the overall structure of the poem because the changes create a new feel in each chapter/book. Book three and twenty-two are important in that aspect. We see a significant difference in plot, how each character evolves, and how the themes and values differ from book/chapter.
